Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana (about 5 oz / 110g)
- 1 ¼ cup soy milk or other plant-based milk (295ml)
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder or other flavors of plant-based protein powder (60g)
- 1 cup all purpose flour or spelt flour/gluten-free blend (120g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or other neutral oils (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)**
Instructions
- Start by preheating your waffle maker according to manufacture's instructions.
- In a large bowl, mash banana until smooth. Then, add in milk and mix well.1 medium banana, 1 ¼ cup soy milk
- Add protein powder and mix until there is no clumps left.½ cup vanilla protein powder
- Mix in flour, baking powder, and sugar if using. Combine until a smooth batter forms. The batter will be quite thick, but still pourable.1 cup all purpose flour , 2 teaspoons baking powder , 2 tablespoons sugar
- Lightly spray or brush on some oil on the waffle iron. Scoop batter into the waffle maker until it fills approximately ¾ of the iron.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the indicator switch color. If your waffle iron has no indicator, cook until the waffle maker is no longer steaming.
- Re-grease your waffle iron before making the next batch of waffles. Once the batter is used up, serve with toppings of choice and enjoy!
Notes
*Oil - Adding a tablespoon yields softer waffles, but you can omit it.
**Sugar - As I find my protein powder sweet enough, I did not add any additional sweetener. However, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sweeteners for sweeter waffles.
Helpful tips
- Keeping waffles warm – While the other waffles are cooking, transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack. Keep it in an oven preheated to the lowest temperature.
- Avoid overcooking waffles – Since these waffles are lower in fat, overcooking can make them dry. Follow instructions per your waffle maker, but a general rule is to cook until the steam stops rising.
